QuoteSisters Deni Favela-Parra and Dusty Brekke of Las Vegas have spent most of their adult lives trying to figure out who killed their aunt.
It was originally a pursuit of their mother, Vickie Lynn Brekke, known in the family as Big Vic.
She was the one who had to identify the corpse of her younger half sister, also named Vickie Lynn, shortly after Little Vic was found dead May 8, 1978, on the outskirts of the valley.
Big Vic kept every page of the police file, every newspaper clipping and kept in touch with Metro Police cold case detectives every few months until she died in 2011, the sisters said.
“Yeah, she was obsessed, but it was because she loved her sister,” Deni said of Big Vic. “It was her sole mission up until she passed away.”
What the family knows is Little Vic was supposed to go over to a friend’s house the evening of May 7, 1978, and she never made it.
